Christmas Cards Designs Coming Soon!

I will be posting this year's Christmas card designs very soon...so stay tuned.

Mixing It Up Is Merrier Fall Mini Shoots

My last few weeks I have been uber busy...ha ha I used the word uber! I'm so easily amused. Anyway, can you tell I've been holed up in my office with my nose to the computer working by myself way too long? I have been working hard to get the proof books ready to go so I haven't been posting any pics lately. So, I'm about to change that! I've got some great stuff both weeks. The first week was "a little bit country" which we had a great time shooting in a dry river bed, used some bits of whispy grass and lots of golden sunlight. The second week was "a little bit city" and we used lots of colorful walls, stairwells and doors. Thanks to Austin, TX we have some cool, cool spots to choose from. Take a looksey and I'm sure you'll likesy what you see...all my families are so cute I don't know how you couldn't like my photos. :) Geez...I really need to get some sleep! Here's a few to get you started.

Technical Difficulites Over!!!

Technical Difficulites

FYI, I'm having some technical difficulties with my online ordering at the moment. I'm hoping to have everything back up and running tomorrow (Friday). Thanks.

Future UT "Chillileader"!

I photographed one of my favorite families this past weekend and they are UT Longhorn fans bred through and through. They wanted to be photographed down on the campus and we found some really great spots to use. Their little girl, "C", is two now and this year for Halloween she is going to be a UT cheerleader per dad's request. So, they brought her costume and we got some shots at the end of her cheering. What is even cuter is when Baby "C" says cheerleader she says, "Chillileader". :) Oh, the cowgirl hat was a hoot, too! We had a lot of fun with the hat (in case you couldn't tell from the pics.)

Down Syndrome Calendar Gala 2011

Once again, I volunteered for this great event this year and had so much fun. Every year the local Down Syndrome Association here (DSACT) puts together a yearly calendar to raise revenue for their cause. They always combine a local Down Syndrome child with a celebrity for each month on the calendar and then they have a huge kick off party which is this gala. The children that star in the calendar for the year get the ultimate treatment at the gala. They arrive in limos, the crowd is screaming for them, the paparazzi is there (that's me!)photographing them as well as KVUE News and then they have a loooooong, red carpet for them to walk into the party. It is just the cutest thing you have ever seen! Some of the kids are very receptive to the whooping and hollering while others are quite shy by all the attention. This year they even had Elvis there performing some of his dance moves. It really is a great cause and if anyone would be interested in purchasing a calendar please click on over to DSACT and get yourself one!

Beautiful Baby Boy

I had a great shoot with another handsome little guy that just turned one this past week. My oh my! He was one happy baby. He made my job so easy. He'd walk a little bit, stop and look at me, smile, pick up a rock, move a little bit, laugh, look at me. He was like putty in my hands the way he worked with me. There were so many super cute shots so I've had to pick a handful that I really like. I do have to say towards the end of the shoot, Mom changed his clothes and put him in a caribbean blue onesy with itty, bitty surfboards on it and as he trucked around the field and I photographed him I could hear Mom and Grandma discussing his outfit. Finally, Mom told me she needed to change him into another outfit and I was thinking OK but he's only been in this one for 2 minutes. Then she said, "This one looks like he's wearing a hospitable gown!" I could not stop laughing when she said this. I don't think it does but I have to put one of those pics in just so you can see. :) Enjoy!
